BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 118 | "Where are we exactly?”
Willow sat in her car and stared at the steering wheel, her fingers curled around it. “You probably think I’m crazy, don’t you?” She asked, turning to see Dan sitting in the passenger seat, staring at her. “Don’t even try to lie. I can read it on your face.” Dan shook his head, his expression calm and unreadable. He looked out the window, staring up all the way to the roof of the mansion. “No. I don’t think you’re crazy. I just think you’re…well…not like others.” Willow snorted at that. “That’s one way to put it.” “Come on,” he sighed, looking back at her. “You can’t blame me for thinking that. I mean, you did just tell me everything about the device, the reality shifts, the whole thing with Diana Price, and the organization, and the fact that you have travelled through time.” She frowned, not liking his tone. “I told you because you wanted to know. You literally fucked me into the wall,” she could still feel her core tingling after he’d fucked her twice in the same night. “You wa
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 119 | "Do I even have to spell it out?”
Jasper looked like he was ready for a war.His brows were furrowed, his lips were thinned and his eyes were sleepy, even though he was nursing a hot mug of coffee.Willow and Dan sat in the living room, across from Jasper himself. Next to him sat his beautiful yet equally furrowed wife, although she looked partly worried if that made the whole situation any better.“So,” Jasper started, letting out a deep breath. “You came here, at this hour,” he checked the time on the wall as if his expression hadn’t already given away his much-felt annoyance. “…because Ronin and Carmen’s life is in danger.”As if on cue, Molly grabbed her phone for the hundredth time since they shared the reason for their arrival and dialled for Carmen. Probably. She shook her head when no one answered. “No one’s answering. Jasper I’m starting to get worried now. Maybe it’s not a prank like you think.”“You think we are playing a prank?” Willow blurted out, not able to believe the two of them would translate their
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 120 | "Can you try searching for it?”
Alice was standing next to her mom, her eyes fixed on the two strangers sitting across from them. Her forehead was creased, and she looked tired. Willow felt bad for waking her up. If it weren’t life and death, she wouldn’t have bothered her.“Hi, Alice,” Willow greeted her softly. “I’m sorry for waking you up like this, but we really need your help.”Alice rubbed her eyes sleepily, yawning loudly. “It’s okay, Aunt Will. What happened?”Willow swallowed hard, unsure of how to explain it to the child without scaring her. She glanced at Dan, hoping he would help her, but he simply shrugged and leaned against the wall behind him. She almost rolled her eyes, almost. The man had lost his brain somewhere between coming here and spilling out the truth.She looked back at the girl, and exchanged an uncertain glance with Molly, before sighing. “Sweetheart, you have so many toys, right? Do you think you ever stumbled upon something that looks like a rectangular box with lots of buttons on it? I
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 121 | "I think I am?”
“Are you serious right now?” Diana asked, as she glared at Willow and the man standing behind her.After leaving Jasper’s place, Willow was quick to call Diana and asked her to meet at Carmen’s home address. Diana had asked what the hell she was trying to do, but Willow didn’t have time to explain, she was trying to put the pieces together herself, but for now, that was all she had.Willow brushed the back of her neck, looking around and noticing how late it was, how nothing seemed real anymore, and everything was just messed up. “I think I am?” She said, suddenly not so sure anymore. But then she shook her head. “Look, you have to trust me on this. This is the only explanation as to why I didn’t have the device on me after I returned. Ryan has to have it.”But Diana wasn’t so sure if Willow was making literally any sense at all. I mean, what were the chances? It felt so unreal and ridiculous. Their one mistake could cost the lives of the two people they held dear. But then again, Wil
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 122 | "You're taking her side now?
While Diana paced the sidewalk, talking over the phone and doing her best to explain everything to (hopefully) Simon, Dan grabbed Willow’s arm and dragged her to the side. Once they were out of Diana’s earshot, a deep frown crossed his ruggedly handsome face. “Did you just lie to her?” Willow had no clue what he was talking about. “About what?” Dan grunted, but held himself from shaking her by the shoulders, telling her to not be so blissfully ignorant. “About the device. You told her that Carmen gave it to Alice—or her child—however you put it. But the truth is that you stole it, isn’t it? You stole it from Carmen. That’s at least what you told me.” Willow bit her lip and averted her eyes. Dan was right. She had stolen the device from Carmen. She had taken it because when Alice told her about the device, she had decided to humor herself and see if things like that could really exist. She was curious. She had to know. She shook her head, glancing over her shoulder and noticing Dia
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 123 | "Why are you being so difficult?”
Carmen wasn’t sure what was happening.One moment, Ronin and she were sleeping peacefully, and the next, their home was being invaded by men who looked anything but friendly. Two of them even held guns at their faces and forced them out of their bedroom.Now, it had been hours, and Ronin and she were still sitting on the couch, not allowed to move, not allowed to talk, not even allowed to check up on their son.It was killing Carmen.The thought that her baby boy was somewhere upstairs, all alone and scared. She needed to go to him, hug him, and assure him that everything was going to be okay. But she couldn’t. Those men had refused to let her do anything.Alas, she had no choice but to try. It was almost dawn, and if Ryan came downstairs looking for them, those men might hurt him. She couldn’t risk that. She had to make sure her child was safe.Carmen shot to her feet, startling Ronin beside her. “I need to see my son,” she declared.Ronin stood up too, but before he could say anythi

“Madam, dinner is ready!” Suzzy, the head maid, entered Carmen’s room to remind her. The maid, who was in her late forties, quietly tapped on the door with a concerned look on her face. Carmen nodded. She had just completed packing for her flight the next morning. Even so, there was nothing in the bag she had received from the Logans. Carmen’s mother-in-law may have accepted her and showered her with presents and affection, but Ronin’s indifferent attitude was a permanent reminder that she was only a substitute. Whatever anyone gave her as his wife, it wasn’t hers to claim. She wondered if Ronin would be there to see her off… She then shook her head. Why was she letting such irrational hopes to occupy her mind? If his reaction this morning was any indication, he was eager to see her leave. He just wanted to get rid of her as quickly as possible. “I’ll be there in a minute. Have you spoken to Ronin? He’s got to be in his—” “Sir has already left, madam. He said he’ll have dinner o
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 2 | "It wasn't mine!"
“How could someone be that cold-hearted?” Molly Carter grumbled as she sat at a café near the airport with her best friend, Carmen Price.After the unpleasant encounter with Jenna in the kitchen, Carmen woke up the next morning and left for the airport as quietly as possible. She didn’t want to make any scene or give Ronin or Jenna a reason to believe she had no intention of leaving. The last thing she wanted was to give them another chance to humiliate her. Thus, as soon as the sun came up and the alarm on the nightstand went off, she was out of bed and out of Ronin’s hair in less than an hour.However, half an hour before her departure, Molly arrived with a furious scowl and literally dragged her out of the airport.“It doesn’t matter now.” Carmen attempted to placate her enraged friend, tracing the rim of the hot cup of coffee. “Let’s just forget about whatever happened.”“Are you sure you can forget about it?” Molly cocked her brow, knowing Carmen wasn’t the type of person who cou
